The best solution of the difficulty

port 420,

that offered itself was to set apart the major portion of

the existing Cemetery for Christian burials, and to

reserve a portion of it for Non-Christian burials. The

area coloured red in the plan shows the portion which is

set apart by the Ordinance for the former. In it will be

included two extensions marked 'A' and 'B' the use of

which will become necessary in the near future, and it

also shows the portion of the existing Cemetery which it

is proposed to use as the Non-Christian burial ground.

There has been no opposition from

any quarter to this legislation and I trust the arrange-

-ment will meet with Your Lordship's approval. If Your

Lordship concurs in the arrangement I consider that it is

desirable that the area set apart by the Ordinance should

be dedicated. I have approached the Bishop of Victoria on

the subject as to whether he would be willing to dedicate

the ground notwithstanding the fact that many Non-

-Christians were buried in it, and he has after consulta-

-tion with the heads of various denominational Christian

Communities expressed his willingness to do so.

I have the honour to be, My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Hungary
